Synopsis (short abstract) In Guatemala, converging crises linked to poverty, extreme climate events and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have led to an unprecedented increase in humanitarian needs, particularly affecting the most vulnerable people such as indigenous communities, women, children, and adolescents, internally displaced people (IDPs) and people living with disabilities. Rapidly restoring the agriculture-based livelihoods of affected households will contribute to sustainably improve their food security while reducing the adoption of negative coping mechanisms.

    The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and of Hurricanes Eta and Iota have exacerbated the multidimensional crisis in Honduras, weakening communities’ coping capacities. Growing levels of inequality and poverty, violence, displacement and limited access to basic social services are some of the main factors leading to increased food insecurity and malnutrition in the country. Vulnerable populations such as women, children, informal workers, indigenous and Afro‑descendant communities as well as people living with disabilities are among the most affected. With intersecting crises leading to growing needs in the county, livelihood support is urgently needed to quickly restore the production capacity of affected households to access food and generate income.

    Guatemala’s humanitarian crisis is mainly driven by climate-induced disruptions to agricultural production and increased human mobility. In the country’s Dry Corridor, families are facing increasing challenges due to the effects of the El Niño phenomenon. The recurring loss of staple crops like maize and beans threatens their livelihoods and food security. Households spend up to 75 percent of their income on food. Providing vulnerable communities with climate-smart agricultural support enables them to quickly produce food while strengthening their resilience against future shocks.
